No RAW-Photos with Adoptable Storage? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello folks,
I have a S7 Edge and use a Samsung Pro 128 GB MicroSD Card in it.
I decided to use adoptable storage with the ADB trick, had no problems setting it up and it runs fine.
But when I use the camera, I have a big problem. I like to shoot in Pro Mode with RAW Enabled, but everytime I try to take a Photo in Pro Mode with RAW capture enabled the camera app crashes when saving the RAW File.
The JPG is saved fine and everything else seems to work great but the camera fails to work with Adoptable Storage and RAW capture.
I think it is related to the fact das RAW Photos are saved to the device memory (you can't change it) but now with adoptable storage there is no more device memory to save the RAW Files.
My Card writes with up to 60 MB/s, speed should not be the problem.
Does anyone has an idea?

I'm back to usual storage option for now.
Does nobody has an idea?

RAW photos cannot be saved to the SD card because the write speed isn't up to par on every SD card. I would assume that Google or Samsung thought this through and disabled it for the "internal" storage that's actually on the SD card.
Try using a 3rd party camera capable of taking RAW photos and see if that would work.

I see that it could be problematic if you have a bad mSD Card without the needed speed.. but hey, my DSLR can save RAW on a cheapo SDHC card wich barly writes 8 MB/s, it just takes longer, but it works.
This card here is a Samsung Pro Card, can write 60 MB/s and Sammys Camera App crashes trying to write a RAW File to it...
Thats just bad implimentation and a bug. If you use Adoptable Storage with any other Android Phone it will save the RAW flawlessly, maybe a little slower but I'm not shooting in burst capture.

Totally agree that it's a bit odd raw doesn't save to the SD card.

Seems like bad coding. Went back from adoptable storage because of this issue...

no, not with adoptable. i tried this and every possibility on my S7 Active; only workaround is to use Camera F5-V

So bad, someone in a german forum said it works for him but I think he just missunderstood...

as far as i know cameras will not recognise the card if over 2gb.
From something I read somewhere else on the forum, you need to have more than 2gb used on the card in order for the camera to save to it.
Try using an alternate camera software, like CoolCamera?

Pics all gone - Help!

I am using dopod 818 pro with a 4GB SD card WM5 Traditional Chinese version. Everything's working fine until yesterday after taking pictures with the phone's camera I find that there is nothing stored under the storage card (My Pictures under My Documents which is the default storing location). I verified that it's not stored under my pictures in the internal memory. Then I took some more pictures, the photo count is keep decreasing (indicating that it is taking up memory on the memory card), but I couldn't find the pics anywhere in my SD card. Could anyone please help? Many thanks.

in the camera option, what is the storage destination you've set?
If I remember correctly the camera app has a problem with cards bigger then 2GB.
This may have caused it to not save the files at all or properly.
You could try accessing the card with a card reader from the PC but other than that I am not sure if anything can be done to recover your photos.
Sorry.

Camera capacity

I have a problem with camera and availability of free space for photos. On storage card I have 4GB of free space and camera shows that I can make 6 photos only. Camera has set Storage card for store photos. Main memory shows 270 photos, Storage card with 4GB of free space shows 6 photos only...
SOLVED: SD CARD TUNE FIX was reason. After uninstall everything looks o.k. Currently I can take 730 photos and store it on Storage card.

not sure if this is the answer but sometimes with external storage when you delete somthing it goes into the recycle bin so is still there. try pluging in the storage card to your computer then emptying the recycle bin. (the recycle bin on your computer/desktop)
if not i dont have a clue, you could try copying all your important files off the card then format it.
just saw this thread by another person who seems to have a better answer:

Had the exact same problem......copied some more files to the HD to go over 4GB (half full) and camera says now it can take several thousands of pix again....
Never tried on my 16GB card, since it´s already more than half full.....so yes, seems to be a bug on the HD

Yes, it should be a bug. My first opinion that SD Tune fix is reason was wrong. I tested, when I fill up over 4GB my Storage Card, then I can take more over 5 thousand photos again. I reported this bug to HTC, might somebody else could report this bug to HTC...

[Q] Picture processing

My Note 3 LTE has Towelrooted stock rom, with 24Gb free internal memory and 15Gb free on the SD card.
When I take a picture it will show the message " processing" and a moving ( don't know the English word for that), however it doesn't happen always
My pictures get saved to the SD card.
What can be the reason for this since I have plenty of free storage and memory?
Do you have Smart Stabilisation enabled in camera settings? That's usually the cause.

Microsd as default screenshot storage

Hi guys,
since I've the western model with only 32 Gb of internal memory, I use a 128 Gb Samsung Evo Plus class U3 microsd (90/100 MB/s write/read speed, very good!).
So I've set both Camera app and HD audio recording app to save by default new files on the microsd, and it's ok.
But, if I take a screenshot, it doesn't matter if holding for two second the finger print button + volume down or using the quick icon, the new screenshot always are stored on the internal storage, in two different folders depending on the method used (screenshot and capture).
There's no option to set the external microsd, and alsa if I move or copy those two folders and delete from internal storage, new screenshot always are stored in the internal memory.
I make a chat with LG support to notify this as a "bug". Hope lot pf you will make a communication to LG to see if they can solve in a new update.
Is there anyone that knows a trick or a third party app that solve the problem, also if there's no root smartphone'
Thanks a lot
